Let’s get down to it Boppers. If you have always wanted to hear the infamous “Night Run” song by the Mersh Brothers which can be found in the movie credits but not heard in the movie then you can check it out through the YouTube clip below. I think I certainly prefer “Nowhere to Run” but you can see why they used this. I must also extend a big thanks to John Garrett for finding it and letting me know. Enjoy!

After a long period of absence, I am pleased to announce that The Warriors Movie Site is now back up and running again. We had some major issues with our previous hosting company who didn’t like the Joomla platform I was using for the site. I’ve now moved the site over to WordPress and a new server so we should hopefully be ok now! I’ve had to rush this through as I needed to get off the old server. As a result, there are still some tweaks to come on the site and in the forums. As you will see, some of the pages on the site have received large updates as some of the content was getting pretty old. Keep checking back as more content will be added to the site in due course!

I don’t like being the bearer of bad news but I am sad to report that the Orphan’s leader, Paul Greco, passed away in December 2008 from lung cancer.

Needless to say, Paul will be greatly missed, and our thoughts are with his friends and family.

Please leave your messages of remembrance below.

It is with regret that I inform you that I have had an unconfirmed report that David Shaber, who wrote the screenplay for The Warriors, and who was helping write the screenplay for the 2010 movie The Warriors, has passed away. Please find this statement from his daughter on Amazon (thanks to James Lada for making me aware of this).

I’m David Shaber’s daughter, Sam, (Samantha.) My father wrote the screenplay for The Warriors, and I’m hoping this “review” gets printed because he just passed away on Thursday morning, November 4th, of a sudden burst anneurism. With so many “Warriors” fans out there, I thought you would want to know. I’m incredibly warmed by these wonderful comments about this film and I know that if he read them (although he had barely learned how to search the internet before he died) he would chuckle in his lighthearted way and say something like “Oh, well isn’t that nice,” all-the-while refusing to take credit for any of it. But I know he deserved that credit, having taken a dark, psychological study of gang warfare and infusing it with a classic but clever and topical, good vs. evil story. (And maybe I shouldn’t admit it, but my dad didn’t really like the baseball face-paint idea which I believe was one of Walter Hill’s additions – he thought that was too unrealistic and “Hollywood”…) Anyway, I do hope the movie is re-issued with the extra scenes at some point, and for those real “followers” I just discovered that you can find a complete list of his produced titles on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) if you want to check it out. The Warriors is indeed an AFFECTING picture, whether you love it or hate it. So thanks for your comments and take care, -Sam.
